After City Council Proposes Some Level of Indemnification for Liability in Sexual Harassment Suits, Bob Filner Agrees to Resign

In the end, it was mostly about money.

But San Diego has decided they'd rather pay lots of money to Filner's victims than put up with the stench in the mayor's office any longer.

Oh, and two things: First, Victim 18 came forward. Second, he's now being investigated for old-school corruption, too.

A voice message left at a city office appears to suggest a direct link between a $100,000 payment to the city and approval of changes to a Kearny Mesa project.
Mayor Bob Filner vetoed changes to the Sunroad Centrum Partners mixed-use project on May 16, then withdrew his veto the next month.
“I’d like the the council member to know that we have reached an agreement with the mayor’s office,” says the June 7 message to Councilman Kevin Faulconer from a man identifying himself as Sunroad Centrum Partners executive Tom Story. “We have paid him the money that was requested and I was told that the mayor would support the (veto) override.”

Now back to the resignation news:

Under investigation for alleged “pay to play” schemes with developers, Filner disappeared from public view for three weeks and surfaced Monday in time for a mediation session with city officials.
Over three days of negotiations in the downtown San Diego high-rise located just blocks from City Hall, officials reached a deal.

A couple of days ago various union stooges and Democratic hacks and apparatchiks staged what might have been the saddest rally in the world in support of Filner. I wouldn't usually link Buzzfeed, but the rally is so sad and lame and weird that it's worth a watch. (Short video, too.)

Their rallying cry was "due process." But they didn't cry it. They sort of mumbled it in embarrassment.

One speaker seemed to be chagrined that she had not received "sloppy kisses" from Filner.

All in all, it was another banner day for the Party of Shamelessness.

30 But the San Diego City Council has decided they'd rather pay lots of other people's money to Filner's victims than put up with the stench in the mayor's office any longer.

Not that I think they made the wrong choice here, but I thought we should be clear about what actually happened.

And why isn't Filner *directly* liable?

Posted by: BurtTC at August 22, 2013 12:52 PM (TOk1P)

32 What % of votes did Filner get and who did he beat?

He beat Carl DeMaio (heavily anti-government union) around 52% to 48% depending on where the stats come from.

This looks like the last poll before the election:

The poll shows the candidates tied among men voters at 46 percent each. But Filner is leading among women with 51 percent compared to DeMaio's 43 percent.

DeMaio has strong support among older voters and younger voters seem more likely to vote for Filner. In addition, DeMaio leads among white voters and Filner has an advantage among minority voters.

As I said in the last thread, being hands-on works.

Wants to play
A love game

165 Military Won’t Pay To Turn Bradley Manning Into “Chelsea,” ACLU Feigns Outrage…

Via HuffPo (who has already started referring to Manning as “Chelsea”):

The military policy against providing hormone therapy to prisoners like Chelsea Manning raises “serious constitutional concerns,” an American Civil Liberties Union official said Thursday.

Chelsea Manning, who used to be known as Bradley Manning, announced Thursday she wants to live her life as a woman. But under military policy, it may be impossible for her to begin making the transition from behind bars as she serves a sentence in relation to her disclosures to WikiLeaks.

“The Army does not provide hormone therapy or sex-reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder,” Kimberly Lewis, a spokeswoman for the Fort Leavenworth, Kan., military prison where Manning is expected to serve her sentence, told NBC News.

ACLU officials say that policy is problematic.

“In response to Chelsea Manning’s disclosure that she is female, has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and will be seeking hormone therapy as a part of her transition during her incarceration, public statements by military officials that the Army does not provide hormone therapy to treat gender dysphoria raise serious constitutional concerns,” Chase Strangio, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Project, said in a statement.

Home run.

“We’re all good, or at least we think we’re good,” Paul added. “We all probably were good maybe 20, 25 years ago. He [Duncan] is a good player. The problem we have is the Democrats have a pitcher by the name of Cedric Richmond, and he’s like 32 years old. And he played in college. They’ve got a ringer and so I keep telling them that you guys believe in so many regulations, why don’t we have a regulation that your pitcher can only pitch for two innings? So far they haven’t come back in support of that. The other thing I’ve told them is since they believe in equal outcomes, maybe we should get six outs for every one of their three outs so that levels the playing field since they’re so much better than we are. So far they really aren’t interested in any of my rule changes. But it’s a fun game, we do it for charity. It’s for the Boys and Girls Club of D.C. And that’s how I got to know Jeff Duncan.”

178 Ohio School Goes Into Lockdown Mode Over Nerf Gunfight…

How anyone could confuse a Nerf gun with the real thing is beyond me.

ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — Police say confusion over a phone message about a toy gun fight prompted a false report of a shooting at a Cleveland-area school on the first day of class.

Emergency responders in Elyria rushed to Open Door Christian School and Church and put it on lockdown Wednesday after getting a report of a shooting. Officers were relieved to discover the altercation actually was a Nerf gunfight in the church area.

The response stunned staff at the school, which resumed classes after a 15-minute lockdown.

Police determined a church secretary’s daughter had called authorities after misinterpreting a phone message her mother left about the toy gunfight.

Police Capt. Chris Costantino says the daughter was concerned and did the right thing.

That's kind of my point. The term "moderate" is a complete misnomer.

We're told that "moderate" Muslims "don't tolerate the violence" and such. And that's not accurate. Those are "non practicing" Muslims. The "moderate" ones (as you say) simply don't engage in the violence themselves; they're completely supportive of those who do.

As likely as not, that grocery bag of unscanned items was not the customer's job to unload or reload from her shopping cart any more than it was the store's responsibility to hire cashiers and grocery baggers for customer purchases, not to mention bags to carry out purchases.

Was this store is one of those refusing to provide bags for purchases? This new anti-bag campaign by politicians and merchants creates a confrontational atmosphere at the check-out, even when stores hire a few grocery baggers who frequently leave their work station.

DEWHURST: Apparently a bag involving $57 worth of groceries wasn't scanned.

242 224. Mary Poppins...

It seems that marches are "out" (whether Onward Christian Soldiers or John Philip Sousa) and static quasi-chants (whether exlax schmaltz or rap) are "in". National leadership want us docile.

The prayer was inspired by the life of St. Francis of Assisi, attributed to 19th C. French nuns, but not "his" written verse.

So long as the vibrato isn't overpowering, I still like the older 20th century musical setting of "Eternal Life" with a wide melodic contour and victorious climactic ending.

As for the Klan, isn't Dixie "out" because the Klan liked the same old American song (1850s Northern mixed origins) as was an Abraham Lincoln favorite?

This is what it's like to live in a corrupt society.

And your report to AttackWatch has been forwarded to the IRS, which is still harassing people because Congress won't punch them in their fat fucking lying mouths over their slow-walking applications through two elections (at least).
